I can confirm that this bug still exists. If you change the capture time of a photo in Lightroom Classic it may not do it correctly. The time was wrong on my camera and I had to change 249 images this evening. As I went through them later, I noticed a few were out of order, when sorting by “capture time”.
When the time is changed, there are three fields that need to be modified:
- Date Time Original
- Date Time Digitized
- Date Time
Most of the time all three are changed, but sometimes, only the first one is.
Attempts to change the time failed again and again, so I changed the sort order to “Filename” which works just fine, but it’s annoying me that there are bunches of photos in today’s photos that have jumped through time.
Anyone figured out how to fix this?

My memory is that Photos.app can change the times if you use the get info. I’m not positive, but at least some versions of Preview.app allowed adjustment of that info, but it’s come and gone. If you’re on Windows, I’m not sure. On Unix, you’ll need a tool for mucking with the EXIF data.
